  • Littleton plays in bursts,...

    LITTLETON — The Littleton Lady Lions’ girls volleyball team defeated visiting Evergreen in three straight sets 25-20; 25-23; 25-23 at Littleton High School on Oct. 2.

    It was a game of inches throughout each of the three games — one team would lead by two or three points, then make a mistake and hand over the ball, allowing the other team to even up the score. Neither team could manage a solid lead.

  • First-half goal, A-West’s...

    ARVADA — For whatever reason, be it Arvada West’s equally-quick style of play or the hostile environment at the North Area Athletic Complex on Oct. 1, the Columbine Rebels’ boys soccer team couldn’t settle into its game, head coach Zach Martin said. Giving up an early goal didn’t help matters, either.

  • Slow start hampers Rebels’ bid

    The 5A state boys golf championship didn’t exactly go as Columbine had hoped. As a matter of fact, it started off about as poorly as the Rebels could’ve imagined.

    The Colorado Springs Country Club course was menacing, to say the least, on Columbine’s golfers on Day 1 of the two-day tournament Sept. 29-30 with the Rebels finishing the first round in last place of the 14 teams in the field.

  • Simpson, top doubles win...

    John Simpson knew what he had to do. He proved as much in the first set of his 5A Region 3 championship match Oct. 2 at Ken-Caryl Ranch House. The second set, not so much.

    “In the second set, I didn’t have the right mindset going in,” Simpson said of No. 3 singles match against Arapahoe’s Dylan Panis. “I was like, ‘I’ve got this wrapped up,’ which you should never go into a second set like.”

    Chatfield coach Nicole Janssen and Brooks Roybal, her Columbine counterpart, bemoan their softball teams’ inconsistency this season. Fortunately for the Lady Chargers, that doesn’t necessarily apply to pitcher Jessica Jarecki.

  • Youth, sloppy play doom Rebels

    ARVADA — Four turnovers, only 10 men on the field, a snap over the punter's head. The brand of football the Columbine Rebels displayed Sept. 18 at the North Area Athletic Complex against fourth-ranked Ralston Valley was uncharacteristic to say the least.

  • Eagles’ Fox, Rebels qualify for...

    Columbine boys golf coach Tim Capra knew the situation. Though his Rebels were leading the 5A Central Region tournament at Green Valley Ranch through 12 holes, the lead was anything but safe. Teams, such as Regis Jesuit, Legacy, Arapahoe and Broomfield, were hot on their heels.

    “Everybody was leaking oil out there at the end. Even we started to leak oil,” Capra said.

  • Moody Lujan plows through Farmers

    By Craig Harper
    For the Courier

    LAKEWOOD — Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon would give Jeremy Lujan a thumbs-up. All last week, the Dakota Ridge junior running back played the role of Grumpy Young Man (OK, technically, teenager) to perfection. He even kept head coach Ron Woitalewicz, who termed Lujan’s mood as “grumpy,’’ in suspense.

    The Rebels led 28-7 early in the fourth quarter before Bear Creek scored 21 consecutive points in the span of 4 minutes, 7 seconds to send the game to overtime.
